3100 chevy Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I think I got one in a parts lot but not hasn't arrived yet so I can't confirm it is but who has made 1932 Austin roadsters, in the photo it looks like a resin body.
Snake45 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 If you're talking about the Bantam, Revell had one in their Parts Packs, and MPC did one as a drag Altered. I believe several resincasters have copied the Revell body over the years.
Craig Irwin Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 The "Bantam Blast" was re issued only a few years back.
Art Anderson Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 FWIW, American Bantam merely ressurected the American Austin, in all body styles--then simply facelifted those with new fenders, hoods, grilles, and in the case of the roadster, a newly styled windshield. Revell's Bantam roadster body, other than appearing to be a bit too wide (at least in my quick perusals) is the same body shell that would have been found on an American Austin roadster. Art

Any idea what this is? image.jpg It is also in the parts lot Sorry it's the only photo I have until it comes Monogram '33/4 Ford? Looks like the hood is next to it, too.

Ace-Garageguy Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Monogram '33/4 Ford? Looks like the hood is next to it, too. Yeah, it's a Monogram '33-'34, but it's a '40 Ford hood immediately to the right.
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) That's a good haul. the yellow parts, in case you don't know, are from this kit, quite rare now... Looks like the light purple fender unit with nose, center right, is an original-issue Ala Kart too. Edited June 18, 2015 by Ace-Garageguy
Muncie Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) uhhhh, it's a 36 Ford (round body line below the rumble seat lid) - guessing AMT from the gray under the blue - but haven't pulled a kit to confirm AMT or Monogram Agree, many difficult to find parts in here Edited June 18, 2015 by Muncie

The little tab at the front of the rumble-seat opening confirms it's AMT.
3100 chevy Posted June 18, 2015 Author Posted June 18, 2015 Thanks, to bad the 36 ford fenders aren't there http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38927

jbwelda Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) to the original question, what you are referring to looks like a resin body? why would it be a bantam then, given they are readily available and have been since time. perhaps you mean an Austin Seven, also sold as a BMW 3/15? this body was produced in resin (1st & 2nd picture though I trimmed the cowl significantly) and also in plastic (3rd & 4th photo, kinda modified from stock) also congrats on that 32 ford, I have been looking for one cheap for a while now ever wonder what a stock Bantam looks like? jb Edited June 19, 2015 by jbwelda

I'm sure I've got a spare set of fenders...most likely a frame too. Yours if you want 'em. Thanks for the offer but shipping to and from Canada is very expensive, on the parts lot 50% was shipping.
